Chairing the first meeting of officials at PUDA Bhawan, Arora took stock of the ongoing projects as well as those in the pipeline and directed the officers to work diligently with a view to ensuring futuristic and planned development.

He said that clean, devoid of corrupt practices and an accountable administration would be the hallmark of the Punjab government.

Directing the officers to formulate pro-people policy framework, the minister also emphasised that the current projects and the schemes must be completed on time with people getting the services in a time-bound manner.

Assuring that the harassment of the urban area residents in government offices would be a thing of the past, the minister cautioned that those indulging in corrupt ways and means would not be spared at all. “The action plan of the department must be chalked out keeping in view the strengths and weak areas of the department,” he said.
